medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I do not know about Bangor but you might find something useful about Lincoln
in <Statutes of Lincoln Cathedral>, ed. H. Bradshaw and C Wordsworth, 3 vols
(1892-7); and you might find it helpful to write to Dr Nicholas Bennett, the
cathedral's librarian and archivist - who will know if anyone does.
Best wishes
